Andreas - can we create a new “Later” version in JIRA so that we can assign
issues that we’ve decided to defer until after 2.0? That way we can have a
definitive list of what does and doesn’t need attention.
What exaclty would be the difference between "Later" and "Unscheduled”?
The use of a blank Fix Version to mean “unscheduled” is problematic as there’s
no way to tell a deliberately deferred issue from once which we forgot to
schedule,
or from the hundreds of historic 1.8 and older issues we have, or from
version-less
issues such as those related to the web site, so I was thinking that an
explicit “Later
version would let us proactively and unambiguously defer issues.
Thinking about it, “2.1” and “3.0” labels might be better, for breaking and
non-breaking
changes, respectively. This way we’re using JIRA for release management as well
as
bug tracking.
Sounde more reasonable than the "Later" idea. I've added both versions

Simon,
Andreas has the best handle on this, but off the top of my head what we need is
to finish
making breaking API changes and for the code to have been stable for a while
before
making a 2.0 release.
Improvements and fixes which still need breaking API changes include:
- Pattern rendering
- Pages resource caching (significant memory usage issues)
- Font embedding (particularly TTF)
- Parsing (Andreas?)
- Page Tree (needs completely re-writing)
- Text extraction on Java 8 (this might end up being a breaking change
to the sort)
There’s probably more, such as work on Acroforms, and we need to have much
better
example code for 2.0 due to all the changes.
This seems like a good time to explicitly try to make sure that we have JIRA
issues open
for all outstanding tasks, so that we can track how close 2.0 is to being
ready. The stability
of the code is a pretty good indicator - we’re not there yet.
I’m going to open some JIRA issues. Andreas, Tilman - please open issues for any
2.0 features which you think we need.
Thanks

Hi,
Could you set a target date for 2.0 release. What's missing to make a
release?
Thanks
